Poisoned?!?!

[Tink]

Angie, my prayers are with you all.
Sadly there are some very evil sick people in the world and they truly do things the rest of us can't even imagine!

I hope things turn around there soon and they're able to put that nut case away for life. I really wonder why the police haven't been involved though... I would certainly call them and ask what you can/should do in a situation like this.

We have wondered the same thing about the police being involved! You'd think it would be mandatory even if there is just a "suspicion." Maybe she had chemicals at home they could've found or something if they would just do an investigation. The doctor's couldn't say definitively that it was poison because he'd lost so much blood when he was admitted...so it's never gone past the "suspicion" stage.

Brendon wants to call the police, but what would we say? The people at the hospital have given us so little information as to why they even had that suspicion that I wouldn't know what to say to the police. We also want to leave that decision to Brendon's dad. He has so little control over his life (because of his wife) and we don't want to make him feel even less in control... Does that make sense at all?

I just don't know what to do!

The hospital might be sending him home tomorrow, even though the problem with his blood isn't fixed and he's still needing transfusions several times a day...just because he doesn't have insurance! I am just so frustrated with this whole situation!!!! Brendon is so worried that he's starting to feel physically ill. I feel so helpless...

Angie, maybe your FIL is frightened. Has Brendon or the Dr.'s said anything to him about the suspicion of poison? Maybe he'll want to have the police involved, can't you ask him? I would tell the police everything you know, including all the other things she's done including the stomping of his foot. Now is the time to start writing all the things down with dates if possible. The information may come in handy.

If he goes home, just keep checking on him. If he continues to lose blood, she may not call for help and he may be too weak to help himself.

This has me so worried, I can't imagine what it's doing to your family.

Angie, i would go to the police, seriously. Like Janet said, tell them everything you can remember, they there to help you, at least IF something bad happens to him while he's at home, the police have been warned.
Is it possible, your FIL stays with another family member while he's trying to recover?
I cant begin to imagine the scare you, and Brendon must be going through.

P&T are with you all.

Angie.. I agree with Janet and Mandy.. GET HIM OUT OF THERE.. She sound sick....

Angie,

I just found this. I'm so sorry Brendon's Dad is so sick! I hope he's recovering quickly.

I agree - the police should be involved and the younger brother should not be in the house. She's dangerous. This is a little scary.

My prayers are going out to all of you.

Sorry for my lack of updates. We've been SO busy getting ready for finals and finishing up all of our projects, on top of dealing with this situation. I don't want to say too much until we are sure, but hopefully she'll get what she deserves soon. There are plans in motion!

Angie, I just got on and read your post!! How terrible!!!! I know that you've mentioned that your step-mother-in-law is not a good person but who would have ever thought that she would try and poison her husband! He's been given a lot of blood but at least, he's in good hands at the hospital. I'll be keeping him in my prayers and the rest of you too. Please keep us posted on how he's doing.
